Amazeballs of painting awesomeness is what this app is all about.

And believe-you-me, it takes a lot for an app to become an app favourite. I mean….

Thick as thieves.

Favourite.

I don’t just let any ‘ol app take up real estate on my phone.

* It must knock my socks off.

* It must blow me over with a feather.

* It must take me to the moon and back again

* It must meet all of the above requirements, before I will even so much as blink-an-eye at it.

I want the pizzazz. The whole shebang. The entire enchilada.

It is so simple to create this !

Same photo, different paint filter. Cool, huh?

It must be epic photo app bliss to make us happy. Right ? Right !

Are you with me on this one?

It has to be sooooo brilliant, we can’t resist it.

If you don’t feel that way about your photo apps, I’m not sure we can be friends anymore.

Unless you like butter tarts. If so, we are friends again. Just like that. Lickity-split.

You’re my buddy.

My butter tart buddy.

Photo apps need to be irresistible.

Like a butter tart.

And free is a sweet bonus too.

Thank Gawd butter tarts aren’t free. I would be the size of a house.

Our treehouse became a painting. OMG. In 5 seconds. Hello !!

Another paint filter. Easy Breezy to do.

With photo apps, I prefer the price tag of FREE.

Ring ring.

What’s that sound ?

Oh that’s the sound of free.

ahhhhh…..

It is super simple to navigate this app. I tested it in a very scientific way.

* I didn’t read any instructions

* I pushed all the buttons to figure out how to navigate it.

* It took me about one minute to learn how to use it.

* I uploaded my crappiest photos to the app.

* I scientifically concluded that if an app can make a crap photo look great, well… then that app is my new bestie.

* Signed, sealed and delivered …..

You will feel like Picasso. Minus the insanity.

How do you do this magic painting stuff without magic mushrooms ?

1. Take a photo (or use one from your existing photo gallery on your iDevice)

2. Upload the photo into the Glaze app

3. Push all the buttons and see what paint style of filter that you like

4. Wham bam~ you have a painting, Picasso.

5. Share it with everyone you know and pretend you painted it all by yourself.

6.Tahhh dahhh you are suddenly an exquisite painter.

Any photo.

Becomes a painting.

Ohhh ehhmmm Geeeee.

There are lots of different paint filters to choose from.

So different !

Save the photo to your phone or share it on Facebook, Twitter, email, or as a postcard.

You can even have a postcard printed and shipped anywhere in the world. I didn’t try that. I was impressed that I couldpossibly send it as a postcard. I don’t mail things. Why? Our local post office is located in a bakery. Seriously. A bakery. Filled with butter tarts. And pie. Torture. I gain 5 pounds just walking through the post office. And you think I joke. Do I need to show you my muffin top ? It is serious business.

Who can say NO to a butter tart ? Not me.

Hence….no mail….no postoffice…no nuttin’…….no postcards.

P.S. I wasn’t paid with liquorice or Hubba Bubba gum or butter tarts to say this about Glaze. Nothing. Nada. Just pure app love.

AND….the truth is… I downloaded GLAZE because my fellow blogger pal Janet from House Four managed to get me addicted show me this app.

I am not sure if I should

throttle her

or kiss her.

Someone is a wee bit addicted to photo apps and I am not mentioning names.

* pointing finger right back in my own face *

* and maybe Janet’s face too xx *

I personally think this app is kicking ass and taking names in the app world. They made this app so easy to create such art.

What is there not to love?

Dangerous play.

LOVE

Would you believe you don’t even need to touch a paint brush to do this stuff ? I didn’t go near a bottle of wine paint to make these photos.

I swear.

I paid for these paintings with monopoly money. Funny money. You know the kind.

Hi Lynne,
I need you to write a “doctor-kind of note” to my husband to explain why it seems like I’ve done nothing “of value” today. You see, I discovered your website and have been awfully busy exploring it and the minutes and the hours just flew by….you understand?!?
Despite of what he’ll say, I’m glad I discovered it and will even pass it on to my unsuspecting friends.
Have a great weekend and I will look forward to reading more.

Hey beautiful lady, Cancer sucks, well you will get no argument from me on that matter. Diagnosed with lung cancer several months ago, and 2 months ago they cut out half my right lung. time will tell if they got it all. Just getting back on my feet.
If you like glaze, you might like this. Its actually online. Just upload a photo and it will apply various photo to painting filters.

I am still addicted to it. I have painted the whole fam dam. ha!

Lynne

I just read some reviews on your site and they are epic. You guys rock it !

The app world is taken by storm by your incredible development of this app. It was a pleasure to share on the blog. My blog readers know I only write about the things I truly love. I think everyone else should get addicted to it too. LOL. Problem is, I am also craving butter tarts now. haha !

Congrats on all your hard work ! You will have many people who will be happy as clams playing with your epic app.

Lynne, your blog made me laugh, just as I am about to announce our first Shed with the Chandelier postcard exhibition… you write this Oh I love a challenge – if I can get you to walk to the post office with a bit of your own original artwork, writing or music link on it and send a postcard to a shed in the Med. then the rest will be easy x

Tracy !
You need me to send a postcard? From a post office? You are killing me. LOL. I will be like a dog with their nose up in the air *sniff* sniff * is that a butter tart that I smell ? ha!
Lynne xx

You need to print that second image of your treehouse and hang it IN your treehouse
And the Eiffel tower images – Pure artwork, I tell you!
We definitely need a 12 step program Lynne. Apps are way too addictive and I’m running out of memory on my phone!

Ok Janet,
I will print that image if you come to the treehouse and help me hang it up. Should be easy to nail a hole in those walls. LOL. We may need some squirrel repellant tho.
I downloaded iColorama btw’s and now I am stuck. I need tutorial for all that app awesomeness. Treehouse date? *wishing the snow will melt* xx

For some reason your reply didn’t come to my inbox this time – i didn’t know you had replied! But I’m game for an iColorama tutorial anytime…it’s a superfun app and you will love it! Treehouse date for sure! and if you email me that photo, i can print it for you on my coolio printer
